Data Centres: Boom and BacklashBackground
Scala AI City names Scala Data Centers’ campus at Eldorado do Sul, in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil. The name distinguishes this site from the separate RIO AI City project elsewhere in Brazil.
The campus forms part of Scala Data Centers’ Latin American data-centre estate. Its planned connection to Brazil’s national transmission grid identifies the site as a location requiring high-voltage electricity infrastructure.
The approved 120 MW connection provides a fixed reference point for the campus’s future power supply. That connection is scheduled to begin in January 2028.
Scala AI City gains grid approval
On 3 September, Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica approved a 120 MW connection between Scala AI City and Brazil’s national transmission grid. The decision became public on 10 September and schedules supply for January 2028 at the Eldorado do Sul campus.
The 10 September notice gives Scala AI City a defined electricity milestone rather than a general policy commitment. The approval concerns this named campus in Rio Grande do Sul, setting both its authorised connection capacity and its expected supply date.
